For Tomorrow

IODAY the Moon. leaving Sag- ittarius. enters Gaplcorn. augm- ing well for affairs of the heart and home. Business associations. as well as family interests. are favored. so it would be well to make plans now: to lay the foun- dation for sound, stable and last- ing accomplishments. However. since subtle influences also pre- vail, it would be well to guard against those with crafty. schem- ing and dubious ideas Let logic and careful analysis guide you in your decisions and do not permit emotionalism to interfere with orderly. mental processes.

For The Birthday

If tomorrow Ls your birthday, you may find yourself faced with challenging and intriguing prob- lems. For while your immediate outlook is good. it may be com- licated by others whose ideas

rder on the complex, making you hesitant about going forward in your own way. Schemes which border on the fanciful and ideas born of emotionalism can always be defeated, however. with the use of logic and common sense. Io bear this in mind when faced with any such business or per- sonal crisis. Sudden impulses might complicate most promis- lng issues. so "use your head." A fruitful year is ahead for those who plan shrewdly, analyze care- fully. Keep poised, stable.

A child born on this day may have a rather complex natur& Ihrevwd. subtle. yet with much basic logic and good sense.

It -was quite plain, I recall - made with the full sleeves of those days and trimmed with , black velveteen. Long cuffs of it came almost to the elbow; the belt too and the round yoke and fitted band of collar was of the same.

"This piece of tweed. Ellen-but there." she looked up inquiflngly, "I guem you're weary?" Weary- we who revel in the "living" his- tory of the past!

"No indeed!" we replied.

"It's quite pretty, isn't it - gray. flecked with colors? But. dear me, how I disliked it -- when I had to wear a skirt of it to school in my teens! It was one I had inherited from an older girl and of course, never fitted me . . . bunched about my hips. I felt like old Mother Hubbard when I wore it-always unwillingly." she laugh- ed merrily over in remembrance. "Indeed I got to despise it so much that I. took care to wear it over a neater. if somewhat worn dress so that I could discard it on my way to school . . . kick it off and stow it under a "var" that branched low to the ground! I confess I felt mean doing the like -deceiving my Mother, but when I wore it. it just about ruined my morale. It had a depressing ef- fect that brought down my aver- age and made me lose confidence in myself. so I worried with the 'off again; on again' affair for a few weeks until the arrival of spring let me don lighter wear."

. . .

"'1 wonder if that 'Var' is still there? But no. all the trees are gone from that road. Ah me. the

changes the years bring. And." she smiled, "the dreadful grow- ing-pains school-girls have over

their clothes! They tax a mother's wisdom, her ingenuity and pa- tience. But an experience like that- what my pride suffered in having to wear that skirt, I'll never forget!" helps when one mothers girls of her own. It's true that only by suffering our- selves. can we understand and sympathize with others in similar circumstances.

"And this?" we pointed to a tri- angle of blue patterned in a. deep- or shade of the same - for as yet there was no sign of James, nor sound of his summons.

She smoothed the silky surface tenderly. "That, Ellen, I wore to my first party-dance I should say. My pgrems didn't believe in dancng but because this was at e neighbour's we were allowed lo at- tend - and how we enjoyed it! And it's silly to be remembering

Q. What can I use as a substi- tute for dog biscuits?

A. one can save money spent on dog biscuits. as well as make use of all leftover bread. Slice the bread and put in into the boiling oven. Allow it to get brown on one side, and then' turn over and brown until quite hard. This makes a'good dog buscuit; it af- fords mlendid roughage and is a good tooth cleaner.

Undoubtedly a good deal of your trouble dates from your meek acceptance of your husband's contention that you must work to supple- ment his income. ary. there was no acute financial reason for your holding a job. the extra money coming in merely served to minimize your husband's own role as a breadwlnner for the family. He shelved the obligation of being a faithful husband along with the responsibility of being sole provider for his home. to shlrk the responsibilities of married life, and if a wife could only gauge her man's capacity for ahouldering his marital and parental obligations. many a marriage would be saved through her own adjust- When a husband evinces a desire to have his wife work. especially when his earnings are adequate for the main- he is plainly shoulder the burden alonef At this point, a wise woman, instead of mcckly acqulcscing to his demands. and thereby encouraging his dependence, tries to develop his self-confidence to the point where he
